A warrior’s journey leads ultimately inward, for a warrior is intent upon attaining spiritual prowess, finding the energy that burns from within. For it is this energy that seeks higher awareness, fuller consciousness, and new life. The warrior’s spirit without seeks always connection with the flame of the spirit of the warrior within. When this connection is made, when the flame is burning full force, all will be in alignment, and then anything is possible.

A warrior knows that purpose and meaning reveal themselves as life progresses and so a warrior does not waste time wondering. Instead, a warrior seeks to live life to the fullest because a warrior also knows that experience is the greatest teacher.

The unconscious acts in mysterious ways, often making choices that are not in alignment with spirit. In choosing to awaken and become more consciously aware, choices will more easily align with the changing self. The changing self learns that choice matters. The changing self learns to wait, to hold back and ask spirit for advice. Although the changing self may seek to be daring and progressive, alignment with what is right is of utmost importance, alignment with spirit being crucial. Choice always matters.

A path of heart is a path of freedom. It is the warrior’s journey, a journey of heart leading to freedom. It is the journey all beings seek and will one day take, and yet it must begin from a place far distant and traverse the winding roads of life with all its miseries and glories. Once on a path of heart, freedom is always at hand, the freedom to choose being one of the most powerful. A warrior always chooses freedom.
